If parents involved with TASIS England students (for example, as teachers, substitute teachers, volunteers, chaperones, participants, hosts, or audiences) observe something that gives them cause for concern, they should follow the dictates of proper school protocol and address those concerns with the teacher first, then with an administrator, as the situation warrants.

There are opportunities for parents to volunteer to help in many areas of school life as follows:

Room Parents and Room Parent Coordinator: Parents are asked to sign up on Open Day to be a room parent for their child’s homeroom. Room parent works directly with the class teacher throughout the year to determine in which areas help is needed (e.g., class parties, Mystery Reader sign-up). In addition, the room parents, along with the Room Parent Coordinator, liaise with the TPA on school-wide events.

The Room Parent Coordinator works closely with the Head of Lower School to ensure communication and events run smoothly in the Lower School. They gather the other room parent volunteers together or contact them as a group, meeting several times a year to prepare for events or discuss other Lower School matters. Collaboration between the Room Parent Coordinator and the School is integral to a successful working relationship.

Classroom Volunteers: At times, teachers may solicit the additional help of parents for special projects or activities.
